Medication costs associated with early initiation of antiretroviral therapy
The START Study randomly assigned 4685 persons with CD4+ counts >500 to either immediate treatment (2326 persons) or a group (2359) that had treatment delayed until the CD4+ count was 500 CD4 counts
Capability of Thailand to implement newborn male circumcision
This study was designed to gain baseline information on the capability of the hospitals of Thailand to provide newborn male circumcision (NC) and on the opinions of health-care personnel towards NC. Two questionnaires were sent to every hospital in Thailand that might have obstetrical services. One questionnaire requested information about the degree to which NC was provided by the hospital. The second questionnaire targeted health-care providers…
Effect of an Empowerment Intervention on Antiretroviral Drug Adherence in Thai Youth
A pilot study was conducted to determine effects of an empowerment intervention on antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence among Thai youth living with HIV/AIDS. It compared two groups of 23 young persons (15-24 years) who receive ART from AIDS clinics at two community hospitals. One hospital's patients served as the experimental group, and the other as a control group. The experimental groups attended five sessions that empowered them to take con…
Using cost as a consideration for antiretroviral regimen selection
Funding for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) has lagged behind the number of persons needing antiretroviral therapy, leading to waiting lists and reduction of needed treatments and services. This paper demonstrates a method of providing more treatment for the same amount of money by selecting clinically equivalent, but lower-cost drug regimens. Average wholesale prices (AWPs) were used to calculate the annual costs of preferred, alternativ…
The Role of Trust in Delayed HIV Diagnosis in a Diverse, Urban Population
Patients referred to an urban HIV clinic frequently fail to establish care
To measure the success with which patients newly entering outpatient care establish regular care, and assess whether race/ethnicity was a predictive factor, we conducted a medical record review of new patients seen 20 April 1998 to 31 December 1998 at The Thomas Street Clinic, a county clinic for uninsured persons. Patients were considered 'not established' if they never saw a physician in the 6 months after intake (the 'initial period'), 'poorly…
HIV/Aids practice patterns, knowledge, and educational needs among Hispanic clinicians in Texas, USA, and Nuevo Leon, Mexico
Hispanic clinicians in Texas, United States of America, and in the neighboring state of Nuevo Leon, Mexico, were surveyed to determine their educational needs in the area of HIV/AIDS. Two-thirds of the 74 Texan and 22% of the 104 Mexican physicians queried had seen at least one HIV/AIDS patient in the previous year. The majority of the respondents were primary care physicians who: 1) were in private practice; 2) saw more than 1,000 patients per y…
HIV/Aids Education Survey for Mental Health Professionals
A total of 6804 mental health professionals, e.g., licensed and certified psychologists, licensed professional counselors, in Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas were mailed a questionnaire regarding HIV/AIDS topics professionals might recommend for educational programs. Participants were asked to rate how strongly they would recommend each topic. The return rate was 31% (2121). The percentage of participants who did not recommen…
Case-Mix Groups for VA Hospital-Based Home Care
The purpose of this study is to group hospital-based home care (HBHC) patients homogeneously by their characteristics with respect to cost of care to develop alternative case mix methods for management and reimbursement (allocation) purposes. Six Veterans Affairs (VA) HBHC programs in Fiscal Year (FY) 1986 that maximized patient, program, and regional variation were selected, all of which agreed to participate. All HBHC patients active in each pr…
